“I felt like someone just sucked my blood, my air. Like, how do you live?"

We are already an authoritarian country. We’re not working to prevent it; we’re now working…to get out of it.

Well stated!

I think the Democrats MUST focus on 3 main issues:
the economy, voting rights (GOP gerrymandering, voter suppression, and subversion), and a workable plan for immigration. Not allowing ICE to kidnap basically anyone they want, put them in detention with ZERO DUE PROCESS, then possible deportation.

First porn, now YouTube, ID checks to access the internet are creeping in.

China & Russia started this way. Now their internet is locked down: no anonymity, no dissent, total surveillance.

We are sleepwalking into total fascism. Don’t buy the “protect the kids” excuse. They want total control.

Could Pam Bondi have prosecuted Jeffrey Epstein when she was Florida's top legal officer? Pam Bondi took office as Florida's first female attorney general in 2011. Epstein had gotten out of the Palm Beach County Jail two years earlier.

Why didn't Pam Bondi Prosecute Epstein?

Could Pam Bondi have prosecuted Jeffrey Epstein as Florida AG?

11 more NYC libraries will soon open on Sundays A $2 million City Council deal will expand seven-day service to more than 30 branches citywide.

Eleven more libraries will reopen on Sundays, thanks to the leadership of the City Council. They never should've been closed in the first place.

As Mayor, I'll end this absurd budget dance that keeps our beloved libraries in limbo year after year.
